In a new interview with Windy City LIVE, Chance gave more credence to the long-awaited collaboration and announced that he and Kanye are working on the album this month. No, not in Wyoming, but in their hometown of Chicago.

Chance also discussed his recent engagement, writing sketches for SNL, and his monthly Open Mike event. Watch the interview in full below.
